Re: Thinkpad & MWave
We just ordered 7 TP 755CX's with the MWave DSP and its
compatibility/workability was/is a concern. I got a mixed bag of responses
via the CompuServe ThinkPad forum. Some people love the MWave, lots of
people hate it. Seems like if you are patient and aren't trying all sorts
of oddstuff it works pretty well. I suggest looking at the CIS forum if you
can. If you have a hard time doing this e-mail me and I will try to put
together the responses I rec'd for you.
